@kara@occult.camp @zebratron2084 yep, this is definitely a thing that would happen. DESPITE NONE OF US ACTUALLY BEING MILLENIALS. :|
@zebratron2084 that is Entirely Possible. I'd recommend a blindfolded taste test to compare but I doubt anybody cares that much.
Pirate Booty is still very tasty, though! ANNOYINGLY TASTY. /dangerously tasty/. great, now I've given myself a craving. >____<
@zebratron2084 ooh, how about those packing peanuts that are edible, made with... I don't remember, corn starch or something? I've eaten those before... they're, uh... edible. XD
@anthracite so I hope it's everything that y'all want and need it to be, and not anything more stressful or annoying than that! (Spouse and I have seriously discussed getting divorced and possibly re-married for various legal/financial reasons, but right now it looks like it's in our best-term plans to just stay hitched indefinitely)
@anthracite fwiw, it's just as big a deal as y'all decide to make it, yanno? after Spouse and I got hitched people kept asking "so does it feel different??" and I'd look at them blankly and say "noooo..." and for me (and Spouse, by his report) it really didn't. on the other hand we were "engaged" for like a year and a half before we finally stopped procrastinating and actually did the thing, so we had a lot of time to get used to the idea. XD
@noelle @alice@elekk.xyz hahah, omg I love playing Scrabble and it's so rare that anybody will play with me more than like two or three times. I deliberately hold myself back sometimes so I don't beat people *too* badly and make them feel bad. XD

we also have a new saw-whet owl, which is staff only as it's not in great shape and yet EXTREMELY FIGHTY. saw-whet owls are tiny (about the size of an American robin) and the rehabber said they basically look like Beanie Baby owls with HUGE BIG EYES and it's pretty much true: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_saw-whet_owl
and that's about it for this week's report! :)

since there were only the three birds in the ward, I went on to clean the ward, do a bunch of dishes, clean up some lamps that are going back to the org we borrowed them from, clean the footbaths, and then get started on cleaning out the deer pen. that's going to be a *huge* job which we'll probably be working on for the next month. XD
the bald eagle is doing well, his broken bone is healing, yay! and there was an opossum brought in last week that's already been released!

the pre-spring lull goes on. we have around 30 animals total right now; at some point in the spring we'll probably have *more than* 30 baby squirrels that need regular feedings, just for one example. so this is definitely the time of year to get other stuff done while we can!
I did meds & tubings assistance , which meant catching and holding three birds (a thrush, [though I don't remember what kind] a rock pigeon, and a crow) while they got meds and food.
The fifth annual Gender Census is now open until 1st March 2018!
http://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/gendercensus2018/
It's for anyone whose genders (or lack thereof) aren't described by the M/F binary. It's pretty short and easy, and the results are useful in academia, business, and self-advocacy.
I trained a neural network to generate new insect species! http://aiweirdness.com/post/170383876487/new-insect-species-dreamed-by-neural-network

I trained a neural network to invent new bills for Massachusetts. You will no longer be able to use an elevator any way you want. #machinelearning http://aiweirdness.com/post/169851369022/new-bills-introduced-by-neural-network
